Storm chaser Andy Gabrielson shot some decidedly impressive tornado video in west central Minnesota on Saturday. He captured a twister dropping down and destroyed a farm near Campbell in Wilkin County.
Gabrielson estimates he was no more than 30 yards from the funnel that sent debris at his vehicle, shattering its windows. “It’s one of those things where I felt comfortable and I felt safe because I knew exactly what I needed to do if the situation turned worse for me,” he said.
The thrill seeker has logged more than 60,000 miles chasing storms — just this year alone. We’ve included a link to his website Severe Studios.
Check out the amazing twister in photos and video footage below. We’ve followed that with an interview that was done for the Today Show in June, after Gabrielson captured a Colorado tornado:
